UINTA WIND FARM
Evanston, Wyoming
FPL ENERGY
Juno Beach, Florida
The Uinta County Wind Project was developed by FPL Energy for the installation of eighty 1.8 MW Vestas-America V80 wind turbine generators in southwest Wyoming. TriAxis designed the 6-feeder underground collection system that was connected to a 90/120/150 MVA, 34.5-kV to 138-kV, step-up transformer through 34.5-kV metal-clad switchgear. Eight 4200 kVAr capacitor banks were provided for reactive power support. The 138-kV power was delivered to a new three-position ring bus switching station (fourth position future) to interconnect the project to an existing PacifiCorp 138-kV transmission line. A new fiber optic communication line was installed on the PacifiCorp transmission line for metering and system protection.
